The Bund Finance Center is a building located in the Old City area of Shanghai, China. It is notable for its three, overlapping, moving layers of vertical stainless steel pipes. These layers, inspired by theatre curtains, slowly rotate around the building. Fosun Foundation (Shanghai), a non-profit organization is based in the building and was supported by Fosun Group and Fosun Foundation. The building is located in the narrow strip of riverfront land between the eastern wall of the Old City and the Huangpu River, a locality traditionally called "Shiliupu" (十六铺, "the Sixteenth Stall").
